been informed that VIM and Frank

when Frank Belz merely fell in with
them. They were not arrested. nor
brought back, but went on the visit they
had contemplated making for some
weeks before. They probably knew
nothing OF young Belz's escapade, and
certainly were not in any way con-
nected with it.
